R. have at the present time a force of mer sinking we'll on the ranch of S.

This ensured , the railroad company will erect ad ditional buildings and it is said make this place the terminious of the passen ger as well as freight divSon which II is at present. The business men of of the town seem to- be doing a flourishing business. C. E. Boyce the pioneer merchant of the town has a store full of general merchandise be- side his butcher shop, and supplies the town and vicinity as also several town along the line of the A P. road with beef and mutton. He is as busy as bee and is ably assisted by his book. keeper J. L. Davis who has been with hlm for many years and we believe knows every body around for forty miles.
 Our fellow townsman D. A. Mur. phy. has recently put up a neat building and stocked it with line ot general merchandise which is man. aged by s. $. Wescott, polite and obliging gentleman.
 Eugene Murray former resident ot Flagstaff has a neat clean restaurant, where one can obtain a good and substantial meal. .One of the old "stand bys" of Williams is John K. ! Tabor, who has fine saloon, where the thirsty can find the best ofwines, liquors, beer, and cigars. The estab. lishment is presided over by Johnny Drain, who is always attentive to the wants of his customers and whose atfdble and courteous ways make him many friends. In connection with his saloon MT. Tabor is erecting a restaurant and lunch counter which will be completed in a few days, when those who desire will be furnished with the best of meals. Mir. Tabor also has new lodging house, and the writer can say from experience that ths rooms are neat and warm and the beds clean and oomtortaSla.
 Hit and Little have fine saloon also, with private club rooms for the acComod8tions of their patrons, and their wet goods are ot the best quail ty.
 s. Rowe is the livery man, and has a fine stable where parties can find good accommodations for their teams by the day or week. Nellis and Nellis have the largest saloon in the town, where one can amuse himself with game of billiards, a fine mixed drink or good cigar.
 The physician and surgeon of the town is Dr. Hardrich, who IS also resident physician for the railroad company. The Doctor has a fine drug store amply supplied with articles to cure the sick.
 Several new family residences have been erected, noticeably the new cottages of C. E. BoyCe and s. Rowe which are neat substantial structures and add much 10 the appearance of ihe town.
 Several of Flagstaf's former citizens are at present sojourning at Williams, among whom we met A. Wilson and Robert Carr, who are engaged at their trade as carpenters, also Geo. Glddens who has recently returned from a visit to the states. Williams Is rapidly growing in size, and is one of the most enterprisIng and prosper. ous towns on the line Iof the rail. road.
